Axle height for trucks refers to the vertical distance from the ground to the center of the axle. This measurement is crucial for understanding the vehicle's clearance, stability, and load distribution. Proper axle height can affect the truck's performance, handling, and ability to navigate various terrains. It is also important for compliance with regulations regarding vehicle dimensions.

"capacity of a concrete truckis,the large usual sixe is 9 yards,the smaller are about 3 yards" Actually over the years the size of mixer drums has increased You will notice the large the drum the more axles the truck has plus it depends on what make a mixer it is 1) London 2) Jaeger 3) Rex The early 3 axle trucks with a rex mixer carried 5 cu yards That increased to 7 cu yards London and Jaeger drums carried 8 cu yards On trucks with 3 axles and a tag (4th axle that trails the truck) carried 12 yards or 10m3 The newer 5 axle trucks usually hold 14-16 cu yards Please understand that 1 m3 = 1.3 cu yards 1 cu yard/27 cu ft of 20 mpa concrete at a 3" slump weights - 3400 lbs Hope this helps you

That depends on the height of the bed walls - they make various heights for various applications. For example, dedicated debris and coal trucks tend to have considerably higher bed walls than asphalt/stock material trucks.
A Class 8 truck is a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 33,000 lbs. Single axle trucks with an additional lift axle, tandem axle trucks, tandem axle trucks with additional lift axles, and tractor-trailer dumps are all Class 8 trucks.
Many light trucks have a high center of gravity, and are susceptible to rolling over.However, one does not necessarily cause the other.What causes a tendency to roll on a turn is the height of the c of g above the level of the axles. If the c of g is at or below axle level the vehicle will tend to slide sideways, but will not roll unless the wheels are prevented from sliding by e.g. hitting a kerb.If the c of g is above axle height, then the critical factors are the height above axle level, and the track dimension. The reason that the HumVee is so reluctant to roll over is its enormous width relative to axle height.

As many as it was built with. Peterbilt manufactures a wide range of trucks.. everything from single axle straight trucks to tandem axle straight trucks and truck tractors, heavy haulers with additional tag axles, etc.
It's pretty cut-and-dry.. it's an axle which can be raised and lowered. Normal five axle units don't have them - they tend to be exclusive to heavy haulers. You see them on a lot of straight trucks, as well, such as dump trucks.
They come in many sizes and configurations. They could be single axle trucks, tandem axle trucks, tandem axle truck with additional lift axles, tandem axle trucks with a twin steer setup (and these may also have additional lift axles, as well), and even tractor-trailers with mixer trailers. You'd have to be a little more specific as to which one you had in mind.
Wheelbase on heavy 3 axle trucks is measured from the center of the steer axle (1st axle) to the trunnion, or the midpoint BETWEEN the 2 drive axles (axles 2 and 3), not to the center of the rear drive axle (axle 3). Axle to axle is only used on 2 axle trucks. Note: be careful using wheelbase to calculate bridge laws, which can use 1st axle to 3rd axle measurements in its calculation depending on the state/province.

Even though a lot of the Lowe's trucks don't require a CDL (single axle box trucks), they typically require delivery drivers to have a CDL, so that they can be flexible enough to do deliveries in either type of truck (either the single axle box truck or the tandem axle flatbed trucks).
